    Strange no announcement by the Blazers. I wonder how they feel about the Blazers being moved again? Also I wonder if the Blazers will continued to be simulcast on FM? Wheels said that was the reason the Blazers got out of their deal with The Game.

    Re: Blazers moving again. From KEX to KPOJ

    I would bet it had more to do with the promotion of the team(s) than anything else.

    I don't think the audiences that listen to Beavers/Blazers games, are the same audience that listens to Rush Limbaugh or...what else do they have on KEX?

    It's similar to KXL having the Blazers and then going to 95.5

    The Blazers on 95.5 was 90% of the reason why I listened to 95.5 (and later 750). But I couldn't get myself to listen to KEX for anything else. I MIGHT listen to KPOJ more now that they have sports talk and Beavers/Blazers.

    Bottom line, I would bet the ratings and cash flow for KEX doesn't take a hit, and any loss they might have probably is made up by the additional ratings and cash flow to KPOJ. For fucks sake, it can't be any worse than the shit they were broadcasting before.

    Petros and Money have a great show. Really, it's good for a "local" LA show. They talk a ton about the Pac-12 and other national topics. The Loose Cannons are a bit much, though.

    I remember as a kid m dad bitching to the skies about how KGW was such a shitty station for Blazer games every single time we'd go in a tunnel or underpass in Portland.

    Thats one reason why I loved listening to 95.5. It was clear in tunnels, downtown, under underpasses, etc.

    10k watts for night games. I think the soup can has about 5k.

    I imagine the Blazers aren't too happy about this.

    Re: Blazers moving again. From KEX to KPOJ

    The Blazers aren't too happy about it? At this point, I no longer am worried if they're upset about something. 6 years of having the Comcast fuck up on their track record has given me almost no sympathy for them.

    Re: Blazers moving again. From KEX to KPOJ

    Yep. I'm at the point now where I just accept not having Blazer games, although I will head to a local bar once in a while for one. Pirated feeds seem to still be available most of the time.

    Re: Blazers moving again. From KEX to KPOJ

    Probably part of their Comcast agreement to convert people to cable.

    The next move will be a HAM radio frequency, followed by Channel 4 on the CB.

    No need. Larry Miller, wherever he is, says a deal is imminent with Dish and DirecTV!

    I do believe that is the first "HCPs wife" joke in the history or Morse Code!
